Physics Author Cat
« on: February 09, 2018, 10:05:19 AM »
I was cracking up over this because it hit so close to home. Even though I'm retired, I'm still semi-involved in getting one last paper I'm a coauthor on through a peer review. Some of those peers are real pedantic jackwagons with overenthusiastic ideas of their self-worth, so I completely empathize with the author here.  :laugh:

It's only true for spherical physicists in a vacuum.

Ancillary; wherein is demonstrated further humor by physicists: the alpha, beta, gamma physics paper.
